Walking out of the rear corner gate of Hua Zhong You, we can catch sight of
the five-room-wide finishing house---Hu Shan Zhen Yi ( landscape of lake and hill
) located on the northern slope. Called Qingyinshan Hall when there was only the
Qingyi Garden, it was burnt down in the war of 1860 and rebuilt in the Emperor
Guangxu's reign.
It is an ideal place for us to look far into the distance as the red pillar,
the lintel and the foundation form various" frames", looking out through
which we can find diverse views, such as the rolling Yuquan hill in the west and
the rippling Kunming Lake.
